Risen Christ, standing in a slight contrapposto, legs crossed, Ulm, Swabia, circa 1490–1510.. The torso is bare, while a mantle is wrapped around the hips and drawn up by the right hand. The treatment of the head corresponds to the formal vocabulary observed in figures of Christ and the Apostles attributed to the workshop of Niklaus Weckmann in Ulm: a heavy upper eyelid, slightly open mouth with sharply incised corners, and a pronounced lower lip. The beard is carved as combed, rhythmic S-shaped locks arranged in layered masses under the chin. The hair is worked into broad ribbon-like strands, each ending in a hooked curl. The drapery further supports the attribution to the workshop of Niklaus Weckmann: it falls in thick, tubular folds broken by sharp V-shaped ridges, alternating angular facets and deeply carved channels...
Beautiful and important triumphant Christ in lime wood with remains of polychromy. Christ has his head leaning on his right shoulder, his eyes half-closed and his mouth half open. The hair is combed into thin locks, falling on the shoulders. It wears a short perizonium, with V-shaped folds. The legs keep a relatively parallel position. The face is beautiful, the nose well defined. Our sculpture responds to the canons of the German Christs triumphant from the beginning of the 15th century. It still shows clear influences from the 14th century...
Large Christ in gilded bronze. His head surrounded by a crown is slightly inclined on the right shoulder. The ribs are well marked, above a long perizonium. Beautiful face offering parallels with the Gothic ivories of Paris and eastern France. The plasticity of the face, the perizonium, the position of the legs lead us to date this Christ during the 14th century. A Very Close Christ was sold at Sotheby's in December 2000, during the sale of the Léopold Kolisch collection. ..

Limoges, mid-13th century...
Large central plaque of a cross with Corpus Christi in enamelled and gilded champlevé copper.

This Gothic goldwork is characteristic of the Limoges workshops of the first third of the 13th century.

Large Saint John in sculpted linden, hollow back. South Germany, workshop of Niclaus Weckmann in Ulm towards the end of the 15th century. Our Saint John presents all the characteristics of the style of the master of Ulm: the expressive face with emaciated features, the delicately sculpted and openwork hair with its striated and wavy locks. The coat features fringe and pleats with characteristic crocheted appendages and triangle tips. The hollowed back also shows the mark of the master: the woodpecker hole digged at the back of the skull, characteristic of Weckmann...

Virgin of the Annunciation in sculpted limestone. Mid 15th century. ..
Gothic sculpture sees a profusion and diversification of media. Still austere for the first Gothic art, statuary knows an explosion of Marian worship with series of virgins and children. Architectural works remain with capitals, corbels and columns. The Ekinium gallery offers a series of religious and secular works from the gothique period.
